I believe I left the workshop door open overnight my mistake!
How do I know that? Because I found the door open you ask me, well that may be true but I am in and out and cant remember if I just popped in to get my phone charger or something trivial. But the reason I know is because my dog Cosmo was particularly interested in things. News sniffs to sniff and stuff and exploring behind places he had no interest in before!
Did mice or a cat wander opportunisticly in I wonder. Nothing missing or taken only my enthusuiasm for work. But I am feeling better after my little tantrum last time and preparing the cartoon for my next mosaic will start on that tommorrow. Today….well pigments at Turner Contemporary…….I am really excited about that. Pigments Painting….just dreams at the moment, more mosaics to make for the forseeable.
So the mosaics cut up and stored ready to go. Accomodation booked and installation starts week 22nd after bank holiday. The installation is the part where the craftsman or tradesman really comes to the fore and installing these mosaics is just as much part of the process as making them. An old friend of mine many years ago said
‘the measure of a good craftsman is how they adapt and cope when things go wrong’.
Never a truer word spoken.
I took a photo every time I started work on the final mosaic ‘The Windmill’ and put together what is really a cartoon (the other sort made of still pictures joined together).
